After completing his army service in 1988, Alafi continued his studies in the "kollel" of the Yeshiva while living in Kiryat Malachi.

In 1990, Alafi began his studies in directing and producing for television at the Torah Institute for Education and Communications, where he would meet his future mentor and collaborator, Adir Zik.

They would go on to collaborate on many projects, including a film about Zerach Warhaftig's activities during the Holocaust, a show at the Burnt House and coverage and broadcasts of the Israeli elections.

Moshe Alafi completed his Bachelor's degree in Communication and Business Administration at Champlain College, and Art studies at the Open University of Israel in Tel Aviv.

He simultaneously worked with industry figures such as Micha Shagrir, Dani Siton and Ayal Peled.
